When I first
announced the
April 2, 2005 SAM (including EM type microbial consortia) in
Agriculture (and Health) Seminar which Allan Balliett (a
well-known
Biodynamic farmer) had organized to be presented at Shepherd College in
Shepherdstown, WV, a number of folks had contacted me and Allan to ask
if DVDs of the event would be available. At the time it appeared that
this
would not be the case, but as time passed and the date of the event
approached,
Allan was able to find a person experienced in videotaping such
seminars
in his area, and thus the event was indeed videotaped. I have been
advised
by Allan in the past week that the DVD package of the event is finally
available for sale. At this point, the DVD set is available only from
Allan
directly (contact information below), but it is my understanding that
SCD
may be offering the DVD set in the future as well.

It is my
understanding that
the DVD set contains 3 DVDs, and that they contain about 1.5 hours of
the
initial presentation by Steve Diver, followed by the near 1.5 hour long
morning presentation by Matthew Wood, and then, for the afternoon
session,
I have been informed that the DVD contains about 3 hours of my
afternoon
presentation (this presentation eventually lasted over 5 hours, but
only
3 hours were videotaped under the terms of the contract with the video
person.)

you wish to read
more
about the seminar offerings, the speakers and their credentials, please

Finally, here is
information
from Allan himself -- pulled from a recent e-mail which Allan sent to
me
-- on price and how to order. I have edited Allan's original e-mail
slightly
to highlight some points. Allan's note appears below:

Vinny
-

The
DVDS are IN STOCK
NOW!

It's
3 DVDs in a printed
case. It's (almost) the entire program from the Shepherdstown event,
unedited.
Even your celebrated shape-shifting into an alien reptoid reptilian has
been captured, as well as your bag lunch (really an amber bottle of SAM
brew in a brown bag, classic wino style), sitting open on the
stage.
